Berrrrr!

Wheeeee! It's the first day of September! And we all know what that means, Christmas countdown begins!

We, Pinoys, make such a big deal out of it, and honestly, I wouldn't want it any other way because I super love this season!

See how every sentence in this post ended with an exclamation point? THAT is how serious I am with Christmas :))

Here are some Christmas photos from around the world to get us all warm and fuzzy for the weekend:




Smiling snowmen light bulbs! :) You gotta admire the simplicity of this idea, and the play of light and colors has Christmas joy written all over it.

Thinking Cool Thoughts


Fish-eye effect from the happiest place on the  planet! That's right! This one's taken in Disney World, Orlando Florida :)

"Watashiwa Santa Claus desu." :)) So that's about as far as I know with Nihongo. But aren't those chinky-eyed Santa Claus so cute? I am not sure what they are doing here though, but this-much splash of red and white, coupled with those beards, will keep any Christmas scrooge at bay :)
Taken in Japan


Taken from another side of the world, I like the little details in the photo --the candy-filled glass bowl, the nativity miniature behind it, the lit candles held by a glass with angels on it (betcha didn't see that!) & the Christmas tree at the back :)
Taken Somewhere (lol. there's no note as to where this dude took this photo, sorry!)


Can you say Christmas bazaar? Taken in Madrid Spain, this reminds me an awful lot of Divi and Greenhills where Christmas rush shopping scouring through tiangges is already a tradition that some have come to loathe and love over the years :)

Speaking of Greenhills, Christmas display has now been moved from COD (I live in Cubao so this really brings back memories) to here. I remember we were so little back then that my dad had to carry us on his back alternately just so we can see the show. :)

I am sure there are memories popping up in your heads right about now :) While it is good to preserve traditions, I am also looking forward to making new ones this Christmas! Hope you are too!

Happy Sunday!

Bridal Shower Ideas

Hey pretty ladies! Throwing a bridal shower for your dear friend soon? Here are some ideas that you may want to explore :)

i love You

Just sneaking in a post to share how God has been good to me all my life :) Somehow, no matter how much I try or anyone tries, I haven't felt loved and I couldn't love the way God loves me. When I talk to people and I try to describe God's love, every analogy falls short... simply because His love is just so much more intense and it's unconditional. For this post, I want to share the role that love plays in allowing God to be the Lord of my life. :) When we talk about Lordship, it usually entails a sharp intake of breath and begrudgingly opening our hands to release something that we have held on for too long... but Lordship can also be a natural response to what is already made complete in us. Lordship, at its best, is an expression of love. :)

This Thing Called "Grace"

I'll be off work for the rest of the month (yaaaay!) and I'm excited to just sit in coffee shops, with my notebook on hand, or to plop a pillow on the bed and catch up on my reading list... Excited for the quiet stillness that the next several days would bring. There are still merry making days and huling-hirit parties but there will also be quiet times in which I could t just soak in everything and I know that it will do my soul well :) With all the busyness that this season brings, just taking a few moments to take everything in will do you good too :)
